HANDYSIZE BULK CARRIER MODEL

Handysize is a naval architecture term for smaller bulk carriers or oil tanker with deadweight of up to 50,000 tonnes, with the vessels above 35,000 tonnes referred to as Handymax or Supramax.

Handysize small size allows them to enter smaller ports to pick up cargoes. Because they are fitted with cranes, they can often load and discharge cargoes at ports which lack cranes or other cargo handling systems. Compared to larger bulk carriers, handysizes carry a wider variety of cargo types. These include steel products, grain, metal ores, phosphate, cement, logs, woodchips. They are numerically the most common size of bulk carrier, with nearly 2,000 vessels in service, totaling about 43 million tons.

Longview Lodger is a timber carrier. The ship is part of the Pacific Basin Handysize fleet. If you like what you saw, contact us for your bulk carrier model built. Any sizes, any types.
